The Hill on Hudson is one of my absolute favorite wedding venues. The property itself is beautiful and the views of the Catskills and Berkshire Mountains are stunning. This is the epitome of non-traditional wedding venues. Ceremonies on “The Hill” with picturesque views followed by a cocktails and reception in the Palladian barn. The Palladian barn is multi-leveled with stalls on the 1st floor and vast event space on the 2nd floor. It was built in 1801 so it has all the charm you could ever want and is extremely functional for a wedding. Fully prepared for a bride and groom The Hill has two beautiful dressing rooms for both the bride and groom.

Located on Pier 41 in Red Hook, Brooklyn this is a space you have to see in person! This pre-Civil War building has been beautifully renovated to suit all types of events. It boasts beautiful views of the New York Harbor and has a one-of-a-kind view of the Statue of Liberty.

This venue is ideal for offbeat couples who love the idea of straying from the run of the mill wedding venues but are tired of the barns!

The Falkirk Estate sits on 150 acres of lush grassy fields. I love that it is snuggled up to the Ramapo Mountains. Making it an ideal place for the couple who wants a stunning view for their outdoor ceremony. Falkirk Estate boasts ballrooms that can host small or large weddings. At this venue you get the best of both worlds.
